    "title": "The effects of gesture restriction on spatial language in young and elderly adults",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "There is contradictory evidence on whether speech production\ngets impaired or enhanced when people are restrained from\ngesturing. There is also very little research on how this effect\ncan change with aging. The present study sought evidence for\nthese by asking young and elderly adults to describe two\ndifferent routes on a map in spontaneous speech and when\ngestures were prohibited. We found that elderly adults\nproduced more spatial language when they were restricted to\nuse gestures compared to their spontaneous speech, whereas\nyoung adults produced comparable levels of spatial language\nin both conditions. Young and elderly adults used comparable\nlevels of gestures in their spontaneous route descriptions. Yet,\nonly young adults’ gesture use correlated positively with their\nspatial language production. Thus, the results of gesture\nprohibition on speech production are different for young and\nelderly adults.",
